Othram - General Discussion

This case is very dear to me (as are all of Kentucky's UIDs). Others and I feel that genetic genealogy is going to be his only hope for being identified. Hopefully, that's a possibility for him!

KY - KY - Falmouth, Male UP81, 25-45, hanged, prior skull recon, disfigured face, Jul’96

What’s a swag kit? The group is private & I avoid FB groups as much as possible, but want to support the cause!

Agreed McGoo!

I’d so love for this guy’s case to be taken on by the experts, his identity restored to him & family traced & informed. Can’t help but feel he ended up far from home.

( I would certainly be happy to donate towards costs, if this is possible from the UK)

Another famous KY case here: KY - KY - Owensboro, WhtMale UP87, 25-40, in woods off Pleasant Valley Rd, Jan'90
They had been misidentified in 2007 before it was determined that investigators were wrong. It's been more than 30 years cold now, and we still don't know who did it (although it is speculated the killer(s) was(were) local.

Hi everyone! This case has no Websleuths thread because it NEVER WENT COLD. As soon as investigators had exhausted leads using CODIS and other forensic tools, they came to Othram and we helped them make the identification and return this person to his family. This is the future!

McHenry County John Doe is Identified

Very exciting! Great work. I’m glad he was quickly identified and returned to his family. May he rest in peace.

We stand corrected. Apparently there is a Websleuths thread for EVERY case: IL - McHenry County Conservation District police ask for help identifying body found in rural Harvard

I’ve never heard of Siobhan. I’m glad you all were able to help get answers in her senseless murder. Another job well done.

Now, justice for little Siobhan!

Hi everyone, we have a new case for which we are helping to fund and solve: Who is Lincoln Jane Doe (2012)?. We actually can't find a websleuths thread for this case. Does someone know if there is a thread or if it is possible to create a new thread, if not?

 

[wary]

@othram As a member, I believe you have the right to start a new thread.

It’d be in the ‘Unidentified’ forum.

The Unidentified

Right at the top, there’s a ‘Post New Thread’ link, and you certainly have a right to post it! If she already has a thread under some other title, the moderators can merge them. Obviously, it can be a little difficult to know the ‘right’ name for a UID.

I also can't find a thread for her, so I just started this one:
